A short article, "The Death of Stonewall Jackson," reports that Jackson died of complications from his injuries, which were initially not considered severe. "The Killing of Van Dorn" includes excerpts from multiple other newspapers investigating the death. Includes two accounts of battles, entitled "The Battles of Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg," reprinted from the Richmond Enquirer, and "The Battle of Bayou Pierre or Port Gibson," which details events along the Big Black River.
